United Tastes of America

Po-Boy Festival

Born in New Orleans out of depression-era necessity, the Po-Boy might just as well be declared our official national sandwich. Take a loaf of French bread, stuff it with a little shrimp or oysters or beef or pate or burnt ends or whatever you have on hand, add some lettuce, tomato, and a little Cajun magic, and you've got a filling and memorable meal. Jeffrey Saad will check out the best sandwiches in the Crescent City at the New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival. As he eats his way from tent to tent, you can trust that' he'll be doing his best to keep the dream alive!
